Olympia
A historic residential pocket meets modern cultural transformation.

Ideally situated between the grandeur of Kensington and the vibrancy of Hammersmith, Olympia is an area rich in history and potential. Dominated by the famous Exhibition Centre, the residential streets nearby offer a surprisingly quiet, village-like enclave with handsome Victorian architecture.
​
Blythe Road is the area’s independent high street, home to unique spots like Pentolina for Italian dining, and Hand & Flower, a historic pub dating back to the Victorian era. The renovated Exhibition Centre brings a new arts, entertainment, and dining district to residents' doorsteps, further elevating the area’s profile.
​
Holland Park is the primary green space for residents, offering the Kyoto Garden, sports facilities, and woodland walks just a few minutes away on foot.
​
The area is surrounded by top-tier educational facilities. Aside from the nearby St Paul’s, residents have access to the Kensington Primary Academy and are within the catchment area for Holland Park School, one of the top state secondaries in the borough.
​
Kensington Olympia Station serves the area with District Line and London Overground services, making it easy to reach many of the city's hotspots. Nearby Shepherds Bush and High Street Kensington stations offer further transport options, such as the Central and Circle lines.
